For q Good Cause,


On Thursday evening next, the Mad.
anne Frye Concert Company" Of Boston,
will give one of its elegant and refined
concerts, in the Opera House, for the bene-
fit of the East Wheeling Mission School.
II our people wish to hear a treat in the
way of music, let them attend this concert,
and at the same time help the poor Of the
Mission Sunday School. See what the
Ontario AdpOcaie says of this company:
Last evening, the 25th inst, this town
favored with a most delightful and
highly intellectual musical treat by Mad
anne FRYE and her three daughters, assisted
by Messrs. Wells and Sterling. From
their first appearance the audience seemed
spellbound. The manner in which they
rendered their numbers showed that they
possess perfect mastery over their instru-
ments, and the harmonies produced were
exceedingly sweet and pleasing. Their
vocal renditions were exquisite. and the
blending Of their voices superb
The concert was as great a treat as we have
ever had the pleasure Of listening To-"

Disturbing Q Literary.

The case Of the Commonwealth VS..
Jno. c. Coulter, in which the Union
vile Literary Society, by their presi-
dent Mr.. N. W. McCandless, was
prosecutor, was heard before Esq.
Jacob Keck and a jury of six men
of this town last Wednesday after
noon, and after o very hot fight, last
ing for five hours, resulted in the de-
fendant being acquitted and the costs
being equally divided between the
prosecutor and the defense.
The prosecution brought seventeen
witnesses here, the majority of ~hoG
swore that John was at the meeting
of the society on the evening of the
9Th Of March last, and that he dis
turbed the proceedings by his load
talking. John swqre that be was
not at the meeting that night, aId
gave a circumstantial account of his
doings that day, in which he was cor
roborated by half dozen others.
The defd't demanded a trial
under the Potter county act of '67,
aud the DECISION of the jury is final,
unless some fault can lie found with
the record Ia this case old Johnny
Wallace was allowed to make bur
lesque of the whole proceedings We
believe that these literary societies
are godsend to the rising genera
tion Of Americans, that they should
be encouraged by eli respectable Giti-
zens, and that they should be as fully
protected as are the church and pub
lie school,; and after hearing the evi-
dence in this case, we were convinced
that Jona Coulter was there that
night, that he disturbed TIE proceed,
ings of that society and was in the
habit Of so doing, and that he escap-
ed ajust and merited punishment by
tricky defense.
During the trial John threatened
Mr.. Bowser, the attorney for the
prosecution, with bodily harm, and
after the trial some of those interest
